Chapter 126 So You Like This
After hearing this, Li Yujiao's image of Jing Qishan yesterday evening appeared in front of her eyes.
He came riding on the wind, with a sword across his waist, the wind blowing up his clothes, making him look like a hero.
But after calming down, she suddenly felt that she had fallen into his trap.
He deliberately only left half of the story unsaid, leaving her to find out the situation herself.
After all, praising yourself makes you seem vain, but hearing the praise from others makes you seem powerful.
……
"Jing Qishan, I heard from the police officer in the yamen today about your handling of the case yesterday."
At night, Li Yujiao talked about this while she was sitting in front of the bed combing her hair.
Jing Qishan couldn't help but ask, "Really? Ren An is not a steady person. As a detective, how can he casually talk about our investigation process? This is all confidential."
Li Yujiao burst out laughing.
Why didn't she realize before that this man was such a cunning and self-righteous person?
"I didn't say it was Ren An who said that. How do you know it was Ren An who said that?"
Jing Qishan looked helpless, "Alas, if not him, who else could it be?"
"You just want me to praise you." Li Yujiao said with a smile.
"Then praise me as much as you can." Jing Qishan couldn't help but hug her from behind.
As soon as she was hugged, goose bumps appeared all over her body.
Li Yujiao couldn't help but struggled to get away, and said, "Jing Qishan, I'm talking to you about serious matters."
"Praising me is a serious matter? Then praise me more."
Li Yujiao said seriously: "I think you handled this case very justly, truly punishing the bully and protecting the weak. I hope... I hope you can always stick to your original intention and be a good public servant of the people, upright, righteous, and upright."
Jing Qishan paused, then asked doubtfully: "Do you like this?"
Li Yujiao nodded solemnly: "Yes, I like this."
Whenever she has the chance, she will pull him back onto the right path and prevent him from going down a path of no return in the future.
Jing Qishan asked: "If I become such a person, what will you do?"
"Me?" Li Yujiao gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I will be your good wife and assist you from behind!"
Jing Qishan smiled self-deprecatingly.
This woman obviously didn't like him very much, but she still insisted on sacrificing herself and trading her feelings.
He stopped flirting with her and just asked with a smile: "You always emphasize that I should be a good person. Do you think I can become a bad person in the future?"
Li Yujiao was stunned.
Then he said in a very natural tone: "You are a good person, how could you become a bad person? What I told you is just the advice between family members, just like I often encourage Chun Ge to study hard and become a useful person to the country in the future."
Jing Qishan smiled again.
He was indeed overthinking it.
……
The government stipulated that exercises must be practiced every morning, under the supervision of the head of police.
Today's activity was quite intense. We first ran around the city, then did horse stance, practiced stick and sword techniques, etc.
After the practice, water could be wrung out of everyone’s clothes.
However, Jing Qishan left Wu Xing'an alone.
"Deputy Captain Wu, your training today is not intense enough. Stay and train for another quarter of an hour. The rest of you can go and investigate the case."
All the detectives were surprised.
Everyone else went to handle the case, leaving Wu Xing'an alone. Isn't this an obvious target?
Wu Xing'an was also unwilling to accept the defeat. He was already sweating all over from training, yet he still wanted to practice more.
While everyone is here, he said aggrievedly: "Jingtou, is it because I didn't help you find the cow the day before yesterday? I said that those people are my sworn brothers, and I can't do anything to them. After all, I offended them, and they want to take revenge on my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew."
Wu Xing'an thought that as long as he was wronged enough, he would be able to gain sympathy, and Jing Qishan would not dare to do anything to him for the sake of his face.
Jing Qishan sneered: "Don't think that I am making things difficult for you just because I am one level higher than you in rank.
The fact that you found the cow shows that there is something wrong with your attitude towards work. As a police chief in the yamen, you receive a salary from your superiors, but you shield criminals, bully the weak, and even obstruct us from handling cases.
This shows that you are a newbie. You are new to martial arts and you are new to handling cases. Asking you to practice more is just a small punishment. If you do it again, it won’t be as simple as practicing more. I will report it to the county magistrate and have you demoted to a constable!"
Wu Xing'an had already experienced Jing Qishan's methods, so he didn't dare to say anything and had to continue practicing.
Jing Qishan then said to the others: "Listen, everyone else. Although we constables have a low status, we work for the government. Working for the government means working for the people. I hope you can always stick to your original intentions and be a good public servant of the people, upright, righteous, and upright!"
After saying this, Jing Qishan couldn't help but smile.
Could he be that kind of person?
……
noon.
Wu Xing'an went into a teahouse with a young constable who usually liked to curry favor with him.
Before the tea was served, Wu Xingan smashed the tea bowl in anger, "Jing Qishan, you bastard! I was the head of the police before, and now I am the deputy head of the police. But he targeted me as soon as he took the position. He didn't even think about how many cases I handled for the government over the years. Even if I didn't have any merits, I still worked hard!"
The young detective quickly comforted him: "Calm down, Wu Ge. Jing Qishan is a man of no integrity. He thinks he is handling cases impartially, but he is actually rude and reckless. What do you mean by a good public servant? He is just a rotten errand boy. How can he be called a public servant?"
The tea came, Wu Xingan filled it up for himself, and then said: "He can only punish those village ruffians in Xingyi Village. If he really meets the powerful people in the city, he might not even dare to fart!"
The young detective said, "That's right, that's right!"
Jing Qishan simply removed the former county lieutenant from office and punished the Hutou Gang.
What is this little contribution?
It would be better to make some money first by relying on this job as a constable.
After finishing his tea and snacks, Wu Xing'an called the waiter and said, "As usual, we'll sell on credit today."
The waiter smiled and said, "I understand, sir."
But when he turned around, the waiter's face was immediately twisted into the wrinkles on the buns, "Buying on credit again, ugh!"
……
Before Wu Xing'an walked out of the teahouse, he was stopped by someone.
"Captain Wu, how are you?"
Wu Xing'an looked up and saw Li Yu'e standing on the attic railing looking at him.
The reason why Wu Xing'an recognized Li Yu'e was because Li Yu'e and Li Yuanwai came to falsely accuse Li Yujiao of poisoning in the store and asked him to arrest them.
At that time, Wu Xing'an also accepted a bribe of three taels of silver from Li Yuanwai.
"What do you want me to do?" Wu Xing'an asked.
Li Yu'e smiled and said, "You will know once you come up here. Let me talk to you about the new Captain Jing."
Wu Xingan paused.
Jing Qishan?
Li Yu'e is the mortal enemy of Jing Qishan and his wife. It would be great if there was a way to deal with them.
He let the young constable go first, and then he went up to the attic himself.
……
"Captain Wu, please sit down." Li Yu'e warmly entertained Wu Xing'an.
Wu Xing'an sat down.
Li Yu'e pushed some snacks over to Wu Xing'an.
"Why did you call me here?" Wu Xing'an lost his patience.
Li Yu'e smiled and said, "I heard everything you said to that little detective just now. You hate Jing Qishan. You detest Jing Qishan!"
"What does it have to do with you?"
"I have a way to deal with him."
"You? Haven't you dealt with him enough times? Have you ever succeeded?" Wu Xing'an said disdainfully.
Li Yu'e said confidently: "This time is different, I have help this time!"
